Mountain Goats Climb on Top of Hiker's Car

Occurred on July 11, 2024 / Idaho Springs, Colorado, USA

Info from Licensor: "During a recent visit to Mt. Blue Sky (aka Mt. Evans), Colorado, I was photographing landscapes and wildlife when I came across a small herd of mountain goats beside a Subaru Outback. There were two baby goats nearby, and then two of the adult goats began to climb on the car. I used my cell phone to capture this video of one of the adult mountain goats performing a dance on the Yakima cargo box at the top of the Subaru. Through social media, I was later able to contact the owner of the car who stated that there was no damage. She created a short video with her positive reaction when she returned to the car after a long mountain hike. Her video is an interesting part of the story, as one of her comments was 'I wish I could have seen that.' My video provided her the opportunity later to see the goats on her car."
